Empty Sea vs. Fantasy

it’s friday evening. i am w/ghosts & they’re morphing
into morphine scenes, the color in off-white walls.
several times i forget which of them is speaking
& which storyline they expect that i’m keeping. i’m dreaming.
i’m peeling off in layers on the ceiling. the seasick queen
waves to the feelings i’m seeing. they’re not talking anymore.
so i check the windows, check the door. i light the stove for warmth
& wait there for hours, thinking of the songbirds i’ve stifled.
the flowers i’ve grown & admired, petals sharp like a rifle.

those are the three nicest comments ever. serious.

mirrorballet: thanks! my posts are probably more fun than i am, truthfully. i disappear for weeks & i am a moody bastard ;)

didem.: !! rad... the sea foam IS dolphin-esque. that's beautiful. & completely unintended.

iluvchopstix: thank you very very much! we are maybe the only two people left in the universe who love poetry. honestly i do not read it much, though... except kids like rimbaud & d.a.levy. recently i was deeply into a book by david berman. do you have a favorite poet?

Feeling the hybrid! So creative and original--inspiring, obviously. The moving picture on your blog is dope. I tried to comment but couldn't. On the poetry tip, check John Berryman and George Oppen. They are the two I've been most influenced by lately. And Kenneth Koch. Keep doing what you're doing!
